    Office Conversion with new stud wall and decorating

    Shaun was very patient what turned about to be a very fiddly job coverting our landing into an office. The standard of work was excellent and he was very meticulous, he is not one to take shortcuts. Plus at the end of each day he tidied and cleaned the area with his own hoover ! Whilst here he also willingly took on other small jobs not part of the brief. Overall a very good experience and I would recommend his services.

    Friendly, reliable, professional, works to a high standard

    Shaun undertook work in two bedrooms, removing built in furniture, making good walls, adding skirting and painting. He also completed electrical work and built the new furniture for the rooms. Shaun is very professional and undertook the work to a high standard. We were very happy and would work with Shaun again.

    High standard, reliable.

    Shaun did a really good job repairing some decking and redoing my bathroom floor. He was quick to quote and turned up when he said he would. Really good, neat job. Bathroom floor was bigger job than expected but he got on with it and completed it to a high standard. Would definitely use him again.

    This was the third time that Shaun has completed some work for me. He seems to know a solution for everything and gives great suggestions! He is a perfectionist in his work and works hard. Really pleased with the work 😊
